Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012
I hope the team plays a fundamental, sound game in their own end. A tight 5 man defense guarding between the dots with quick, short breakout passing without the D trying to do too much. I understand this is not typically the SLU game but the team has to cut down on opposing team shots in the slot and be more effective getting the puck out of the zone Go Saints!!

Go Saints! Let’s hope the three week layoff helped square away some of our woes. It looks like Sullivan picked us to split the weekend series. That might be a tough task unless we elevate our play and stay out of the box. Go Saints, let’s get in the win column this week.

If St. Lawrence plays like that every night, they'll win more games than they'll lose, that's for sure. First time I'd seen them, and I thought they looked pretty darn good, especially later in the game. Union was very fortunate to get out of Appleton with a win, and SLU was extremely unlucky with the way the puck bounced tonight. Good effort, keep it up.

Glad to hear it was a much different SLU team. I expected it would be, so it sounds like it was smart scheduling in hindsight to give the lengthy break.
Tim, I know it is WAY in advance, but how hard should tickets be for the SLU @ UVM game? I get home from the south on Dec 15th, and might hit that game on my way for a roadtrip down to NC to see family.

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012
Disappointing to have yet another loss on the young season, but there were alot of possitives to take away from it. Our defense was very strong, especially compared to the games prior to this one. They continued to look strong on the PP (despite the lack of goals). We skated hard and won many battles along the boards for the puck, which if this continues we will win more than we lose. One area that we desperately need to work on is putting the puck in the back of the net. Many times I noticed we made great passes and were able to skate hard to get open, but we just seemes to play with the puck to much instead of shooting. Also, the shots we did take were right at the goalie with little or no traffic in front and we hardly ever had second and third chances. The offensive aspect of our game clearly needs more work. No better time to right the ship than tonight. Let's Go Saints!

Congrats to the boys on their first win, Wenny on the shut out and to the whole team on an excellent weekend. Nice to see all that hard work paying off. If we can play with that kind of effort week in and week out we can play with anyone.
Way to go boys!!!! Let's Go Saints!!!!

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012
Nice win boys. Much of the same from Friday night into Saturday night. A tremendous defensive effort from the team all around the board. Boy what a difference a few weeks can make, eh. Finally we were able to bury a couple today. Let's hope we can keep the momentum going as we head to Princeton and Quinnipiac for two tough road games. It's going to be different seeing Bob Prior behind the Princeton bench and not our own. Should be a fun/interesting weekend.
I did see Coach Marsh walking around the arena during intermissions during the Friday night game. Anyone have any new updates on his condition and if it is improving or is everything still the same?

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012
Guys,
Marsh is feeling better but said he wouldn't return until he was 100 percent. He didn't set a timetable for his return. Personally, and this is pure speculation on my part, I project a second-semester return. He'll let the team stay as-is through the December break and come back in January.
Here is the story I did for this week. The bit about Marsh is at the end:

Hopefully he gets well soon. Last night's game didn't seem the same without him behind the bench.

I actually read most of this, but my ADD kept me from finishing the article.
So, I guess this answers my question. Thank you SLUwriter. This is good news indeed!

I just wanted to point out that last year we were 0-4-3 before we got our first win against Cornell at home to start the year. You had it listed as 0-3-3.

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012
Hello fans of St. Lawrence Hockey-
I just wanted to quickly touch base with you in regards to the Goals For Good project. In short, it's a competitive goal-a-thon between every team in the ECAC, and every team has partnered with a charity in close relation to their team, school, and or community. We're currently looking for more prizes, but as of now, there is $1,000 on the line going to the local food cupboard of the team that raises the most money. Please check out www.goalsforgood.org to learn more and support your team and their charity by way of their goals and wins.
Thank you,
Kevin McNamara

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012
Is ECAC officiating this bad all the time? All games at Appleton have been brutal. One of the linesman (tall thin guy) on Friday night could barely skate. Saints looked good last weekend, much more disciplined! Very encouraged that 4 of the 5 losses against very good competition-top Ten ranked teams - #4, #8 and #9. Need to get more scoring from all lines and the power play and SLU could surprise some people.
